Ok, can anyone tell me what this is? I have no idea where it came from but it does seem to be alive as it opens sometimes and closes if I touch it. It looks like some sort of mussel but I don't get how it could possibly get that big without me noticing it.

it is a filter feeding clam. Often found in crevices of liverocks. maybe it detached from a hidden location then fell onto that spot.

I always thought clams had a more rounded shape, but it is colorful and looks cool... so it stays! Thanks.

Nice, I love hitchhikers. Where are the full tank shots?

They come in all shapes and sizes, this is a razor calm that you can often find on local beaches
